Perhaps a longer race against QR would do--after all, he is one of two horses considered real opposition .
Now put Rachel in there and it gets interesting --in the Met Mile that is ..

A flat mile would presumably contain both sprint types and route types, so she could "accomplish" a lot by winning this one race. I think she's capable of handling a flat mile.
The distance would also favor Quality Road IMO were he to show up, and in that respect would be a major challenge for Zenyatta.
